Speaking to the Liverpool Echo following the sentence, she said: “I pay road tax, I pay cigarette tax. I pay my tax. I’m not saying sorry, I’m not sorry one little bit.”

She added: “I’ve been given my punishment today - I don’t need to beg for forgiveness.”

Harwood was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years, and was also placed under supervision for two years.

The 29-year-old has also been ordered to complete 20 days of rehabilitation activities, as well as 100 hours of unpaid work.

In addition to this, she has a two-month curfew, restricting her movements between 9pm and 6am with an electronic ankle tag, which can be seen in her most recent Facebook posts.

Judge Andrew Menary described her as living in a fantasy world with an unhealthy celebrity lifestyle to the court.

She had bragged that she earned £120,000 a year and was inundated with expensive gifts, which is what landed her in court.

Judge Menary said that the benefit claims were initially genuine but became false when she began earning from her self-employed work and raked in housing benefit after she moved from Liverpool to St Helens.

Harwood, of St Helens, Merseyside, had pleaded guilty to three benefit fraud offences involving a total of £25,156 between April 2013 and January last year.
